Part [1/3] - Serverless API's using Azure Functions HttpTrigger

Azure Functions allows you to run small pieces of code (called "functions") without worrying about application infrastructure. With Azure Functions, the cloud infrastructure provides all the up-to-date servers you need to keep your application running at scale.

A function is "triggered" by a specific type of event. Supported triggers include responding to changes in data, responding to messages, running on a schedule, or as the result of an HTTP request.

While you can always code directly against a myriad of services, integrating with other services is streamlined by using bindings. Bindings give you declarative access to a wide variety of Azure and third-party services.
